Description: | A copper alloy Anglo-Saxon pin. The head is polyhedral, having thirteen facets; essentially a cuboid with the corners cut off and the lower four corner faces tapering into the shaft which does not have a collar. The four side facets bear a ring and dot motif. The shaft of the pin is a flattened oval in section; the point has broken off and is missing, and the surviving shaft is slightly bent. It has a light green patina. It is 36.8mm long, 8.1mm wide, and 5.8mm thick. It weighs 2.88gm. The pin is a typical Early Medieval type normally dated to the 8th or 9th century, and it is similar to number 10450 in Finds from Anglo-Scandinavian York except that the York example has a collar. The York examples in this style are mainly from a context dating from 930 ?? 975. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
